I was at a youth meeting in the morning. So many inspiring people doing so much... very supportive feeling, like there is the chance for the Earth and we can do it, a fantastic meeting.

Then I met Lobanov, the leader of a youth environmental organization in Belarus, he had just arrived and was getting ready to have a speech at the Belarusian side event in the evening.

Rushing to the EU youth meeting. There was an analysis and discussion of the EU shifting position in the negotiations and what can we do in order to affect and stimulate EU stick to their previous commitments. We announced our request for EU folks to help us urge Brussels ratify the Belarusian amendment.

Then I managed to get to the final part of GEF presentation of tech and finance transfer. There was Armenian representative speaking, very interesting.

Againg rushing to a meeting of the media group. We help with monitoring Russian and Belarusian news, translating them as well as being a country contact to spread info into our country.

And now it was one of the very important events - AWG-KP session on national mitigation potential where Russian and Belarus delegates spoke for the first time at this conference. Rather weak and uncertain position of Russia, speaking mostly of the difficulties, not actions and obligations. And I think too categorical position of Belarus. "If the amendment is not ratified till the end of the first commitment period, we won't be able to take obligations for post-Kyoto more than 100% to baseline".

Fossil of the day award was the same beautiful as previously. This time Kuwait and Japan two time got it. :)

Right after this - Belarusian side event. The room was full and even some standing by the entrance and walls. We have posted our Green Alliance comics on climate topics on walls, in 10 min secretariat wrapped them :) very nice presentation from Grebenkov and Lobanov. Many profound questions to them. I'm glad of the presentation and the work done to get it ready.

After there was dinner at the restaurant for those countries who had ratified our amendment. Many people with red badges and an appreciative speech from our deputy Minister of Environment.

Then I had a two-hours walk around the old city. Desperately need some fresh air and physical activity. I enjoy this evening walks very much, haven't got the exact reason why, but for the third time this is a very valuable part of the day. I admire this city in its evening colors.
